Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

"A flash of lightning, and you've changed position!"

Since Turtwig is now eager to track Stark's movements, Ash's task is simple: continue to use Stark's agility to confuse Turtwig's judgment.

This is precisely the advantage that the air has over the ground.

“Mu!”

The Turtwig, which had finally managed to catch a glimpse of Stark's movements, had to stop and continue searching after Stark vanished in a flash. Since it was in the middle of the forest, the battlefield was naturally very vast. In fact, Stark had already hidden behind the nearest tree and was waiting for Ash's further instructions.

"Scream!"

Just as the Turtwig was about to turn its gaze to the large tree where Stark was hiding, Ash gave this command.

A piercing scream echoed throughout the entire arena. Even Xiao Guang and the others who were watching from the sidelines were forced to cover their ears, otherwise the sound would make them feel dizzy.

Even the spectators nearby were affected. As the turtle that was hit head-on by the call, it naturally could not escape its fate. It squatted down and stretched out its front legs, trying to cover its ears. However, because its legs were too short, its movement looked somewhat comical.

"A flash of lightning!"

Ash seized the opportunity when Turtwig was completely distracted and commanded Stark to launch an attack.

An arc of light streaked across the sky, striking the grass turtle's body directly and propelling it several meters away, or even into the air.

Sensing the power emanating from in front of it, the grass turtle did not give up. Instead, it glared defiantly with its eyes wide open and pressed its limbs down into the ground.

Muckle, who had originally planned to use her strength to knock Turtwig away, never expected that Turtwig could stabilize itself, and judging from the current trend, she was about to be defeated by its strength.

“N...N...NA!!!”

With a roar, Turtwig violently swung its head, sending M'kl flying. Then, with another swung head, Turtwig used Razor Leaf again, which had missed in the first round.

However, this time, the Grass Spinner's Razor Leaf Blade is more powerful and faster than the first time.

“Mu~!”

Stark, who was thrown back by the power of the Grass Turtle, was naturally unable to dodge at first and was hit head-on by the Leaf Blade. Fortunately, the effect was not particularly obvious and Stark had not yet lost his balance.

"Use the Swallow Return directly!"

Ash didn't expect Stark to suffer such a defeat. He had already foreseen this outcome when he noticed Stark's attempt to overpower Torterra with brute force.

Although Stark's idea was good, it underestimated Turtwig's strength. Ash didn't give it any hints to keep its distance because he intended to use this experience to teach Stark not to overexert itself in future battles.

Of course, there will be times when you suffer setbacks, but there will also be times when you retaliate.

Murkrow regained his balance immediately after being knocked away by the Leaf Blade, then adjusted his body's direction, and after a simple spin, he charged straight towards the Turtwig in an arc of light.

Seeing this, the grass turtle was not afraid at all. It shook its limbs and charged towards Muker in the same way.

The grass turtle believes that if it can defeat the turtle the first time by brute force, it can definitely defeat it the second time by brute force.

The grass turtle's idea was good, but reality was not as simple as it imagined.

While brute force might offer a slight advantage in a clash with Quick Attack, Turtwig's prized strength seems rather weak when facing Aerial Ace, which is several times more powerful than Quick Attack. Just after colliding with Stark, Turtwig was sent flying because it couldn't withstand the power of Aerial Ace.

"Flash of lightning to catch up! Then finish them off with a wing attack!"

When Ash saw that Turtwig was no longer able to stabilize itself, he knew that now was the best time to end the battle.

“Mu!”

M'kl let out another long cry, then turned its body and began to accelerate toward the spot where the grass turtle had flown out.

Midway through its flight, the grass-fed turtle forced itself to open its eyes. When it saw the relentlessly charging towards it, it tried to resist, but its body, writhing in pain, was beyond its control.

“Mu!”

With white light shining on its wings, Murkor accelerated again to get behind the Turtle just in case it reached the Turtle's body, and swung its attack at the Turtle's shell with all its might.

Bang~!

With a muffled thud, the Turtwig, which was still flying backward, was swatted forward again by Stark. It was another highly effective attack. No matter how resilient the Turtwig was, it no longer had the strength to continue fighting.

“N...N...Na~”

After a final struggle, the grass turtle collapsed, its head tilted to the side, and could no longer stand up.

Seeing this, Ash took out an empty Poké Ball and casually threw it at the unconscious Turtwig. The Poké Ball accurately hit Turtwig's body, then turned into a red light and absorbed it without any resistance.

"I caught a Turtwig!"

"Pipikachu~!"

“Mu!”

After Ash gained a new companion, Pikachu and Stark both offered their congratulations. Dawn, who was also eager to applaud, hesitated for a moment, unsure whether she should congratulate Ash when she thought about how accurately Ash could throw his Poké Balls.

"No! We really need to start training immediately! We absolutely cannot repeat the mistake we made that day!"

Xiao Guang muttered to himself, making up his mind. Xiao Gang noticed Xiao Guang's little action and smiled with satisfaction after seeing the two of them arguing and competing with each other.

He believed that the relationship between Ash and Dawn would definitely help them both grow rapidly.

It's quite rare to see two people in such a competitive relationship, one being a Pokémon Trainer and the other a traditional Pokémon Trainer... Perhaps their personalities are very similar, or rather... they get along very well?

Xiao Gang thought to himself.
